I have talk installed:
yum install talk talk-server
And I have /etc/xinetd.d/talk set to disabled
and /etc/xinetd.d/ntalk set to enabled
I also have opened port 518/udp on server and laptop
and enabled xinetd.service
sudo systemctl enable xinetd.service
sudo systemctl start xinetd.service
sudo systemctl status xinetd.service says that it is running.
AFAIK, the configuration is identical on laptop and server, which both have the same version of everything and both are running Fedora 17.
But if on the server I run talk otheruser, it says [Your party is not logged on] and I KNOW that the party *IS* logged on.
If on server I run:
talk user@laptop;
I get the notification,
and I run talk webmaster@server;
and I get the error Unable to connect with initiator: No route to host. Press any key...
What is going on?
Thanks in advance
PS on laptop doing talk otheruser@laptop works just fine.
